Marilyn Gottwald

Marilyn always had a huge smile and warm welcome.  Her quick wit and bright spirit made visits so enjoyable.  She and Dave were so devoted to each other and made everyone comfortable. Their support of our marriage and later the  adoption of our three daughters meant so much.   Jerry enjoyed jabs and banter with Marilyn! She was an entertaining family historian.  Marilyn embraced Becky as one of the "cuzzins" which meant so much.

We know that her love and spirit will continue on through her her children and granddaughters! 
God Bless You Marilyn, we know that Jesus welcomed you into his loving arms!

I met Marilyn Jean when we worked at Caterpillar.  Much later I learned that
my Grandfather J. Walter Strassburger and her mother were first cousins,
offspring respectively of siblings Frederick Strassburger and of Mary Irene Strassburger Roberts. 
Cordelia, her "Aunt Dee," was a shared treasure.

My deepest condolences.  May these few words from the Holy Scriptures bring you comfort in your time of grief...

John 11:32-45

32 And so Mary, when she arrived where Jesus was and caught sight of him, fell at his feet, saying to him: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping and the Jews that came with her weeping, groaned in the spirit and became troubled; 34 and he said: “Where have YOU laid him?” They said to him: “Lord, come and see.” 35 Jesus gave way to tears. 36 Therefore the Jews began to say: “See, what affection he used to have for him!” 37 But some of them said: “Was not this [man] that opened the eyes of the blind man able to prevent this one from dying?”

38 Hence Jesus, after groaning again within himself, came to the memorial tomb. It was, in fact, a cave, and a stone was lying against it.39 Jesus said: “TAKE the stone away.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to him: “Lord, by now he must smell, for it is four days.”40 Jesus said to her: “Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” 41 Therefore they took the stone away. Now Jesus raised his eyes heavenward and said: “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 True, I knew that you always hear me; but on account of the crowd standing around I spoke, in order that they might believe that you sent me forth.” 43 And when he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice: “Laz´a·rus, come on out!” 44The [man] that had been dead came out with his feet and hands bound with wrappings, and his countenance was bound about with a cloth. Jesus said to them: “Loose him and let him go.”

45 Therefore many of the Jews that had come to Mary and that beheld what he did put faith in him;

Mis sinceras condolencias por tan irreparable perdida:

Me dirijo a la familia con humilde respeto,ya que tener que perder un ser tan querido en la muerte ocaciona mucho dolor y pena,ustedes como personas tan creyentes,tendran en alta estima la Palabra de Dios,en sus paginas encontrara consuelo y esperanza por ejemplo en el libro de Juan capitulo 5 versiculos 28 y 29 escribe: No se maravillen de esto, porque viene la hora en que todos los que estan en las tumbas oiran la vos del Señor Jesucristo, y saldran¡¡¡¡¡.

Este pasaje habla de la resurreccion de nuestros seres queridos que han muerto,no es el plan de Dios  vernos sufrir y morir, por eso hase una amorosa invitacion:Acerquense a Dios y El se acercara a ustedes.: Santiago capitulo 4 versiculos 8.
